"It does everything. Best in category."
Version: WebDrive 11.0 build 2747
Pros
It just works. Works with automation and scripting. Works from the command line or GUI. Connects to everything, never crashes. Perfect appliance tool.
Cons
none to speak of
Summary
It Just Works and stays out of the way. Does everything we ask it to do and never lets us down. It's invisible because you just don't have to fsck with it.

"Best in its class"
Version: WebDrive 11.0 build 2747
Pros
Easy to map drives to any FTP site
Once mapped use is transparent
Allows editing files directly on the server
Fast and flawlessCons
None that I have found.
Summary
I have been using Webdrive now for about 5 years and upgrade every time the program changes. I use it primarily to update my websites and have each of the most important ones mapped to a different drive letter. Working with a mapped drive is just like working on my own hard drive except for a slight delay. Once the drive is mapped using it is so transparent that I usually forget I am FTPing using mapped drive. I have used it to access cloud storage and it works flawlessly although this is not my primary use. Using Webdrive saves me a lot of time. It gives me the option of editing files directly on the server or changing them locally and then copying them to the mapped drive. I have tried sever other similar products but this one is the best.

"It's a must have for web developers."
Version: WebDrive 11.0 build 2747
Pros
1. Supports all standard ftp security protocols
2. Once connected, it shows up as normal hard drive. e.g. K:/
3. You can set/change the hard drive letter at anytime.
4. Lots of nice options. e.g. Connect at login/starutp.
5. Works great with Scooter Software's Beyond Compare file
**************Cons
Although free upgrades are limited to the first 12 months. After that you can still download bug fixes/patches but upgrades have to be purchased.
Windows only. There is a Mac version but I haven't been successful with it.Summary
As a Windows web developer, I often need to upload/download everything from a single file to entire sites. WebDrive makes it easy.

"Best product on the market to connect to remote storage"
Version: WebDrive 11.0 build 2747
Pros
We tried just about every other offering on the market to connect to our webdav service. Some of them seemed to work well until we discovered they were not properly caching or worse truncating the files. Since installing WebDrive from South Rivers, we have not reports of missing or corrupt information. Their platform has worked well on thousands of small files on some 1GB+ video files.
Cons
There is no lifetime license. Would be nice if you could buy a fixed set of seats no matter the operating system.

"Using WebDrive on over 100 sites - outstanding"
Version: WebDrive 11.0 build 2747
Pros
We've been using WebDrive to manage our client sites for over 4 years. It is an integral part of our operations and in our mind the best FTP software available. Support is outstanding.
Cons
We really have no complaints
Summary
Couldn't run our business without it!

"Great front-end for cloud storage"
Version: WebDrive 11.0 build 2747
Pros
Our remote users needed a way to easily browse the distributed storage we implemented using Amazon S3 buckets. WebDrive makes it easy for them (and for us) since each bucket appears as a drive letter.
Cons
The cost seemed high initially, but over time we have recognized the value in a solution like WebDrive.
Summary
We are big fans of an approach like WebDrive. The IT department gets to take advantage of the many benefits of using Amazon S3 while our users get an easy-to-use method of access. This is the best of both worlds.

"Easy access to remote files."
Version: WebDrive 11.0 build 2747
Pros
Easy, fast, stable and robust software that solves a problem I've had for many years
Cons
Mac-version is still not on-par with Windows version.
Summary
WebDrive make local-drives (E:, F: etc.) with remote-server content from FTP, SFTP, FTPS, Amazon S3, WebDav etc.
WebDrive makes web-development easier, I have several drives mapped connected to several web-projects. -
"Good for Amazon S3 Access"
Version: WebDrive 11.0 build 2747
Pros
Webdrive makes it easy to edit your s3 files. It comes with a decent backup utility for backing up your PC files to s3. I have also used if for s-ftp files and it works fine.
Cons
offline files are a little quirky.
